# Base Settings

Every landing section in Scope shares common settings that you can customize using internal tags. This page documents all the base settings that apply to any section type.

## Required Tag

Every landing section must have the `#landing` tag:

| Internal Tag | Description |
|--------------|-------------|
| `#landing` | **Required** - Marks the page as a landing section |

    Without the `#landing` tag, your page will not appear on the landing page, even if you add other landing-related tags.

## Hide Title

By default, the page title is displayed as the section heading. You can hide it while keeping it accessible to screen readers:

| Internal Tag | Description |
|--------------|-------------|
| `#landing-hide-title` | Hides the section title visually (still accessible to screen readers) |

This is useful when:
- The section content already includes a heading
- You want a cleaner visual appearance
- The section type is self-explanatory

## Aspect Ratios

Control the aspect ratio of images or featured media in the section:

| Internal Tag | Aspect Ratio | Best For |
|--------------|--------------|----------|
| `#landing-1-1` | 1:1 (Square) | Profile photos, icons |
| `#landing-3-4` | 3:4 (Portrait) | Portrait images |
| `#landing-4-3` | 4:3 (Landscape) | Traditional photos |
| `#landing-3-2` | 3:2 (Standard) | Photography, general use |
| `#landing-2-3` | 2:3 (Tall) | Tall portrait images |
| `#landing-16-9` | 16:9 (Widescreen) | Video thumbnails, banners |
| `#landing-21-9` | 21:9 (Ultra-wide) | Cinematic banners |

### Example Usage

To create a section with a widescreen featured image:

1. Create a new page with your content
2. Add a featured image
3. Add these tags: `#landing`, `#landing-16-9`
4. Publish the page

## Container Width

Control how wide the section content spans:

| Internal Tag | Description |
|--------------|-------------|
| `#landing-container-small` | Narrow container for focused reading |
| `#landing-container-medium` | Standard container width |
| `#landing-container-wide` | Wide container for more content |
| `#landing-container-fluid` | Full-width, edge-to-edge content |

### When to Use Each Width

- **Small**: Text-heavy sections, quotes, testimonials
- **Medium**: General content, balanced layouts (default)
- **Wide**: Image galleries, feature grids, pricing tables
- **Fluid**: Full-bleed images, video backgrounds, brand logos

## Section Content

Each section can include:

### Title
The page title becomes the section heading. Use the excerpt field for a subtitle or description.

### Excerpt
Add a custom excerpt in Page settings to display a description below the title.

### Content
The page content is displayed within the section. You can use any Ghost editor blocks:
- Text and headings
- Images and galleries
- Buttons and links
- HTML cards for custom layouts
- Embedded content

### Featured Image
If you add a featured image, it will be displayed in the section (behavior varies by section type).

## Combining Settings

You can combine multiple base settings on a single section:

```
#landing
#landing-hide-title
#landing-16-9
#landing-container-wide
```

This creates a wide section with a hidden title and 16:9 aspect ratio for featured media.

    The order of internal tags doesn't matter. Add them in any order you prefer.

## Section ID

Each section automatically gets an ID based on the page slug, formatted as `landing-section-{slug}`. You can use this to:

- Create anchor links to specific sections
- Target sections with custom CSS
- Track section visibility with analytics
